To adjust the stitch length and prevent top fabric wrinkles on a Frister Rossmann Panda 6 MKII sewing machine, follow these steps:
1. Adjust Stitch Length: - Locate the stitch length dial or lever, usually marked with numbers (e.g., 0 to 4). - Turn the dial or move the lever to a higher number for longer stitches (suitable for basting or thicker fabrics) or a lower number for shorter stitches (used for finer, tighter seams). - For general sewing, a stitch length of 2.5 mm is common.
2. Prevent Top Fabric Wrinkles: - Check Thread Tension: Ensure the upper thread tension is not too tight. Try lowering the tension slightly and test on scrap fabric. - Use the Correct Presser Foot Pressure: If your machine allows adjustment, reduce the presser foot pressure to avoid stretching or puckering the upper fabric. - Use the Right Needle and Thread: Match needle size and thread to your fabric type. - Stabilize Fabric: For lightweight or stretchy fabrics, use a stabilizer or interfacing. - Feed Fabric Evenly: Ensure both layers of fabric feed evenly by using a walking foot if needed.

My Frisher Rossmann panda 6 clutch will not disengage to allow the spool to be rethreaded

If the clutch on your Frister Rossmann Panda 6 MKII sewing machine is preventing the spool from being rethreaded, follow these steps to fix the issue:
1. Check the Clutch Mechanism: The clutch is typically controlled by the handwheel and an internal disengagement system. Ensure that the inner knob of the handwheel is properly tightened if it was loosened for bobbin winding.
2. Tighten the Handwheel Knob: If the clutch was disengaged for bobbin winding, turn the small inner knob on the handwheel clockwise to re-engage the sewing mechanism. If it is loose, the needle movement may not function correctly.
3. Inspect for Jams: Remove any thread tangles or debris inside the clutch mechanism. Open the machine’s side cover and clean any lint or obstructions.
4. Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a small amount of sewing machine oil to the clutch mechanism if it feels stiff or unresponsive.
5. Check the Bobbin Winder: Ensure the bobbin winder is fully disengaged after winding. If it remains engaged, the machine may not properly rethread.
6. Test the Machine: After making adjustments, turn the handwheel manually to ensure smooth movement. If the needle moves properly, the clutch is functioning.
7. Seek Professional Repair: If the issue persists, the clutch assembly may be worn or damaged, requiring professional servicing.
These steps should help restore normal operation of the clutch.
